popular spot with people lining up at the end of the day for a chance at a booster. >> i have been waiting for a long time to get a booster. i wanted to do it before i was traveling. i cannot get an appointment until december. kate: linda has come to this cvs three nights in a row to wait for an extra booster dose. people who did have appointments said they made them a week ago. how many hours have you waited? >> not that many hours. when i get here, they tell me there's no more shots. kate: linda's experience seems contrary to what governor newsom said on tuesday. governor newsom: if you have been vaccinated and it has been six months, now, you can get a booster shot, 18 and over. california is the first state to say get a booster shot. they are in abundance. kate: the san franciscan resident has been to this cvs six times. >> i hope that the state actually opens up some of the large centers. i got my original two at the

city college which was wonderful and easy. i do not understand why they cannot be doing something like that this time. kate: california's department of public health announced tuesday that a statewide week of action ashley started monday to encourage entire families from young kids to grandparents to get tobit shots. i asked california health officials where and how they expect entire families to get vaccinated and boosted before thanksgiving when it is hard to even get just one shot right now. i have yet to hear back. a bit of anecdotal advice. try mixing up your pharmacy location. this walgreens and the richmond district had much less evening vaccine traffic. an 11-year-old just got his first dose. >> it went ok. it did not hurt too much. >>'s mom has a booster appointment on friday. as for making those family appointments, was it difficult? >> difficult, yes. kate: it's possible on friday,

the cdc and fda could advance booster eligibility for people across the u.s. dan: the state website will for booster appointments at some pharmacies and clinics on thursday. if you want information on that or you have russians about covid-19 vaccines, that information is all on our website. just had to abc7news.com/ vaccine. >> give me money. give me money. give me money. dan: you at 11:00, an elderly man is sharing his story about a violent robbery. and 84 yelled man called mark tells -- and 84-year-old man man in laurel heights. mark was reaching for the cash pair the robber hit him twice with a bottle. >> it happened and then my thing that came to my mind was to pray because i believe in

prayer. >> it hits home when it happens to you or your family member. when i picked up my dad from the hospital, i really got tearful. dan: you can understand. people rushed into help mark. he was badly bruised but thankfully not seriously hurt. the robber is still out there somewhere on the loose tonight. new video released today shows a smash and grab robbery at sun valley mall in concord. watch this. the robbery happened last night. you can see the thieves run up and smash the display cases with hammers. the suspects got away with a number of jewels before police were able to arrive. police believe as many as nine people were involved in this robbery you are watching and that the suspects had everything planned beforehand. new developments tonight. san jose city leaders made a landmark land-use incision for the future of coyote valley. despite potential plans for massive warehouses, the city voted to protect the areas wildlife, open space, and more.

amanda del castillo has more now on the reaction from the community. amanda: the official decision to save hundreds of acres across south bay's vast coyote valley came down tuesday night. originally zoned for commercial industrial loose, city leaders voted to protect the landscape, rezoning to protect an additional 314 acres as open space and agriculture. the move means that potential development of two warehouses, each planned to span the length of more than six football fields, will not replace farmland. the main focus is for residents tuesday. wildlife, flood mitigation, and future experiences for the generations to come. >> it is there space to step off of a concrete jungle and get into the very earth and climate that we claim we are trying to teach the next generation to preserve. >> if you put in any kind of a structure in that area, you are going to have a tremendous traffic problem everywhere from

the 101 to monterey road and on. >> is built, huge warehouse complexes would like that view forever and there would be no way to camouflage it. amanda: before the vote, the acres had longtime plans to be transformed into an employment center with massive warehouses. instead of rezoning, lawyers and landowners pushed back, encouraging the city to purchase the land, fearing removal of existing developmental rights will impact property values. >> you will be engaging in a form of inverse condemnation, devaluing our land. >> i'm not here to speak about profit, to bribe you toward justice. i am here to remind and warn you , this land has nothing to prove to you. this land owes us nothing and we owe it our very lives. amanda: the city will consider the cost of purchasing the properties to permanently protect coyote valley. in san jose, i am amanda del castillo, abc 7 news. dan: oakland took a significant

step forward tonight in redeveloping the oakland coliseum site with or without the a's. after hours of public comment and debate, the council unanimously voted to enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement with the african-american sports and entertainment group. the council passed on a competing bid led by dave stewart. the council president says now is the time to act. >> i understand the staff's concerns. i also feel like this is a moment in time where the federal bill was just move forward. there is more opportunity to really push forward and seek funding for oakland. dan: there is still a lot of work to be done plus the stadium saga still needs to be worked out. what will the team ultimately do? it has been talked about for an awful long time and now action behind all of that talk to open a supervised drug use site in san francisco. the mayor today introduced legislation that could be an

initial step towards making that happen. abc 7 news reporter j.r. stone spoke with some city and state leaders. >> this building in the tenderloin might be boarded up and covered in graffiti now but the mayor would like the city to buy it so it could possibly be used as a supervised drug use site. >> i live one block from the site. there are people who are using and shooting up all over this neighborhood and they are dying on our streets. j.r.: matt haney is in favor of the plan, one that addresses last year's 700 deaths on sfs streets due to drug -- sf streets due to drug overdoses. >> families seeing folks injecting out in public and then folks are dying out on our streets. we have got to get them inside and we have got to get them help. j.r.: this is a controversial move because technically, a supervised drug use or safe injection site is illegal. >>

administration, they made it clear up your you open up, we will shut you down and you could be criminally liable because injecting drugs is against the law and if the city helps with that, they are breaking the law. j.r.: scott weiner authored a bill that would make safe injection sites legal on a state level in san francisco, oakland, and los angeles. he is in support of making this a safe drug use site. >> i would be surprised if joe biden took the same right wing position as donald trump. no kid should have to see that and have to step over people who are shooting up or potentially a syringe. we do not want that in our neighborhoods. j.r.: but will it work? >> i'm not sure the people shooting up drugs on the streets are going to say i want to go over to this safe site. they will do it when they get it. j.r.: as for the next step, there is still a long way to go and a decision may not be made until well into next year. j.r. stone, abc 7 news. dan: after four decades in

she is truly beloved by her constituents. >> i have always thought highly of her. >> i was rather impressed that they came down here. i thought that was really nice. leslie: congresswoman spear said what she was most proud of during her time in sacramento was changing child support enforcement laws. >> the baby bullet, which we got from san francisco to san jose that cut the commute trip in about half and then here in congress, it has been a labor of love around issues around sexual assault in the military, on college campuses. >> jackie gave voice to survivors who had been voiceless. people couldn't really understand the pain and retaliation they were facing while serving our country. jackie is one in a million. she is a shero to many of us.
